SOLD

hand knotted gabbeh runner red blue

This hand knotted wool runner is a high quality reproduction of carpets produced by the Gabbeh tribe of Iran. It features the characteristic animal motifs, lively colors, and durable wool of Gabbeh rugs for a fraction of the price.  It is very thick, plush, and comforting to walk on. The asymmetrical placement of rudimentary animal and human figures throughout the rug gives a sense of activity and draws the eye naturally down the hall. There is some damage to one of the fringes, and minor wear on the pile appropriate for age of the rug.
